Chapter 106: Chapter 106

Understanding the situation, Yoner patted Lee Han on the shoulder as if comforting him.

Spirits are like fickle unrequited love partners, so there were many times when I couldn’t win their hearts no matter how well I treated them.

At that time, I just had to accept it.

“Yoner. I’m fine.”

“Ugh…”

“I’m really fine.”

“Yes, yes.”

Usually, if you put ‘true’ in front of it, it’s often a lie. Yoner decided to just let it go.

Nylia was embarrassed when the water spirit clung to her.

As Lee Han wanted to sign a contract with him, he couldn’t accept it.

“hey. go away! Sign a contract with Wodanaz over there!”

Nylia pushed the water spirit away, but the water spirit clung to Nylia tenaciously. He seemed to like it quite a bit.

That look made Lee Han a little sad.

‘I’ve only been looking for a senile thunderbolt spirit.’

But even if you’re sad, there are times when you have to congratulate your friend.

Lee Han said coldly.

“Nilia. There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I have no intention of making a contract with the water spirit.”

“what? really?”

Nilia pricked up her ears in surprise.

“But you were going to ask for a contract earlier.”

“I must have heard it wrong.”

Yoner admired inwardly.

Lee Han had many different talents, but among them, the one he could never imitate was to lie shamelessly with that face.

If you tell a lie seriously without even breathing, even the person who was suspicious until just now will waver and say, ‘Is that so…?’

“Nilia. I have no interest in that spirit.”

“But… you wanted to make a contract with the spirits the other day. They also said that water spirits are good.”

‘I only have useless memories.’

Lee Han cursed Nilia.

My memory will be good when I am doing assignments, but why do I remember such trivial things well?

“Looks like you’re mistaken. Of course I said I wanted to make a pact with the water spirit. But that was a story about a famous water spirit. Nilia.”

“ah…!”

Nilia hit the palm with her fist as if she understood. Certainly, it wasn’t strange if it was Wardanaz’s talent.

The water spirit next to him clapped his hands in amazement, asking if that was the case.

Lee Han wanted to hit the spirit.

“got it? So if you want to make a contract with that spirit, you can do whatever you want. Because I don’t care.”

“Umm… what should I do…”

Nilia pondered.

It wasn’t that I hadn’t thought about making a contract with the spirits, but I didn’t know it would be so sudden.

“What do you guys think?”

Yihan and Yoner looked at each other at Nilia’s question.

From the looks of the two of them…

‘Nilia needs more friends.’

‘Wouldn’t it be even better if I was friends with the spirits?’

After exchanging opinions, the two nodded.

“A water spirit would be nice.”

“i think so too!”

“If you two say so…”

Nilia nodded. The water spirit jumped for joy.

After spending the weekend with the undead summons on the island, it was possible to feel the welcome on Professor Voladi’s face.

Lee Han became afraid of himself because he was happy to see Professor Boladi.

‘I heard there’s no medicine if you get Stockholm Syndrome.’

“Hello…”

“I used lightning magic the other day.”

“……”

Professor Voladi exchanged greetings and did not ask if he had a good weekend.

went straight to the point.

“Yes…”

Lee Han sighed inwardly.

Actually, I was promising.

From the moment I met Professor Voladi in front of Professor Garcia, I felt a sad certainty.

-Ah, Professor Lee will also teach lightning magic.

And this sad hunch was never wrong.

“Unlike the water element, there are few wizards who handle the lightning element well.”

“okay.”

“It is more difficult to handle than the water element.”

“yes.”

“But you used lightning magic the other day, so you can do what I teach you from now on.”

“……”

Lee Han tried to recommend Professor Voladi to listen to , but ended.

‘What kind of logic…’

“I heard the story.”

Professor Voladi looked at Lee Han and said.

Lee Han was surprised.

Are you trying to chat with the students or not with the students instead of giving the lecture that Professor Boladi is asking you to do?

I hear people die if they suddenly do something they wouldn’t

normally do…

“……”

If the skeleton headmaster was by his side, he would have been happy.

It was a success in making Lee Han angry.

Lee Han was furious with the skeleton headmaster.

‘How many hours have passed…!’

I saw Principal Skeleton in the morning, and now, after lunch, I entered Professor Voladi’s classroom, so in that short period of time, I spoke very diligently.

great really!

“Yes… I was able to defeat it thanks to what I learned from the professor.”

“That is natural. And that’s not why I said it. I heard that you were attacked by a summoned beast and injured your arm.”

‘Damn it.’

Lee Han vaguely guessed why the skeleton headmaster said that.

“The unexpected happened.”

“It is always like that in battle. However, no matter what excuses you make after being attacked, the enemy will not listen.”

The most irritating thing about Professor Voladi was when he said the right thing that couldn’t be refuted.

“So I prepared.”

Lee Han no longer asked, ‘What is that?’

Instead, he held up his cane and concentrated on even one of Professor Voladi’s subtle movements.

I was thinking of responding the moment Professor Voladi made a mess.

The professor was rather satisfied with Lee Han’s reaction. A faint smile crept across his lips.

Sparks flew in the air, and small bolts of lightning appeared. And he aimed at Lee Han.

Lee Han tried to block it first by blowing a water marble, but Professor Voladi canceled it by blowing a water marble as well.

“!”

I had no choice but to dodge. Fortunately, it wasn’t impossible to dodge the lightning bolt.

The lightning bolts shot out in a straight line were much faster than other elements, but they did not reach the actual speed of lightning.

Moreover, the trajectory was straight and simple.

Compared to the ever-changing attacks of swordsmen like Allarron and Professor Ingeldel, the lightning bolts fired in a straight line were quite fast but predictable.

Predict the trajectory you show right before flying with a crackle!

Lee Han deftly ducked his head and completely avoided the lightning.

A bolt of lightning shot through Lee Han, hit the wall, and disappeared with a crackling sound.

Professor Voladi nodded slightly, as if that was it.

“Don’t use magic to block it.”

“…You mean just avoid it?”

“okay.”

The professor immediately launched the next attack without giving Lee Han a chance to question him. The number of lightning bolts increased.

While Lee Han avoided it, he was amazed at himself.

‘Did I avoid this well?’

After coming to the magic school and suffering so badly, how could his evasion ability have improved so much?

When Lee Han skillfully avoided the attack for several minutes, Professor Boladi said as if he knew that.

“As expected, this level is easy.”

‘…Should I have pretended to be clumsy?’

Lee Han wanted to ache. When the professor ordered something, he showed me how to do it right away, so there was nothing good about it.

But Professor Voladi was a tough opponent for such tricks.

Even if they try to cheat, they attack with sincerity, so how can they stop them?

Pak!

Suddenly, the classroom went dark. It was so dark that only Professor Voladi’s eyes could be seen.

‘In a dark situation? It’s like a professor.’

Lee Han was not surprised.

As Professor Voladi, who enjoys being prepared for all sorts of combat situations, he will of course also test avoiding attacks in the dark.

…But Lee Han was still looking down on Professor Voladi.

Tak-

“What is this?”

When Professor Voladi threw a handkerchief, Han Lee was puzzled.

“Cover your eyes.”

Lee Han approached Professor Voladi and tried to cover his eyes. Then the professor spoke again in an emotionless voice.

“Not my eyes.”

I really wanted to, but I really thought I would have to cover my eyes.

Lee Han, who had failed in his small defiance, was stunned.

“…professor. Is it dark enough that you have to cover your eyes? Wouldn’t it be hard to avoid?”

“You can.”

Professor Voladi gestured as if he would no longer answer. A handkerchief came up and covered Lee Han’s eyes.

A dark space where nothing can be seen.

And there was the sound of sparks popping. A flash of lightning was created.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Lee Han felt fear creeping up on him.

But I couldn’t stay still because I was afraid.

Just like detecting magic or the magical power of a magician everywhere, Lee Han focused on detecting the lightning around him.

I didn’t know how well it would work, but I had no choice but to do it.

* * *

Professor Voladi crossed his arms and looked at Lee Han.

As Professor Garcia acknowledged (or at least he thought so), Professor Volardi had unshakable confidence in his educational policy.

-If the students can’t keep up, it’s not my problem, it’s the students’ problem.

Headmaster Skeleton wasn’t friendly with Professor Voladi for nothing.

And unfortunately, Professor Boladi’s confidence was strengthened when he met Lee Han.

‘The basics of elemental form-shifting elemental control training have been firmly established.’

When he saw Lee Han use his lightning magic, Professor Voladi was very happy, although he didn’t show it.

The difficulty of the lightning element is the highest among the elements.

If he used such a lightning element, he could easily go through the advanced process of elemental form transformation and control training.

Originally, I should have started using lightning magic right away

… but there was a reason why Professor Voladi gave him elemental detection training.

It was the testimony of the skeleton headmaster.

When he heard that Lee Han had injured his arm while dealing with an undead summoner, Professor Voladi was shocked.

How could Lee Han make such a mistake?

Of course, there he had to ask, ‘Why do freshmen fight giant undead summons?’, but Professor Voladi didn’t realize that part.

-What if I was that Wardanaz boy?

The other day, to prevent Lee Han from adding the spin attribute to his water elemental magic, Professor Voladi had thought of it from Lee Han’s point of view for the first time.

It wasn’t that difficult once you started doing this. Thinking from Lee Han’s point of view, Professor Voladi soon came to a conclusion.

‘If I were a boy from the Wardanaz family, I would most like to learn the art of evasion rather than attack and defense.’

It would have been nice to have just asked Lee Han, but Professor Boladi didn’t bother to think about it alone and came to a conclusion.

In magic combat, evasion was different from attack and defense, but in some ways it was a higher and more difficult skill.

The key to avoidance is awareness.

Smooth evasion was possible only when one could immediately grasp where and how the enemy’s attack came from and what properties and structure the magic had.

-Fend off the foolish but avoid the wise.

It was not for nothing that these words were said.

So how can you improve that cognitive ability?

In fact, the Wodanaj family boy was training without realizing it.

It was because his cognitive ability had no choice but to improve if he trained to constantly contact and understand magic.

Today, Prof. Voladi has made us focus on detection only, excluding control and form.

As a result…

POT!

Professor Voladi cleared away the lightning bolts that appeared in the darkness.

Lee Han was gasping for breath. No matter how good your stamina is, if you don’t get tired in this situation, that’s even more strange.

Surprisingly, the boy of the Wardanaj family completely avoided it.

In the dark where nothing can be seen!

Lee Han couldn’t see, but Professor Boladi smiled.

In the past, when I heard about the ‘joy of teaching’ from other mages, I wondered what it meant, but now I feel like I understand it.

I really enjoyed teaching.

There were far more lightning bolts and small sparks in the air than before. Various elements such as water beads and compressed wind began to appear.

Lee Han shouted urgently as if he felt something unusual even with his eyes closed.

“Professor? Professor???”
